-Must understand that there are some things I like to do that he won't
-Must be supportive
-Must be smart. Really, really smart.
Those are all the qualities I like in a man. When I list them, it makes me sound pretty darn snooty... but I'm not. Those are all the qualities that my husband has, and those are the qualities that we share that make our marriage so awesome. She's smart not to settle for Mr Right Now.

Hey!! That's me!!! Just kidding, of course... oh, well.
Toots sounds like she has really figured out what she wants. It sounds like she wants to work hard and not need to take care of a home and have a spouse that works just as hard - in the same industry - and agrees on kids maybe later. I could have gone for her a few years ago!!
Most people never figure out what they want and are able to say it like that. Give her some credit and don't worry that your setup didn't pan out. And enjoy the fact that she can be honest and open with you.
